Mobile Data and Picture Entry with the DT-X30 and DT-X7

The Casio DT-X30’s integrated camera has an autofocus and rapidly produces sharp 2 megapixel pictures, which it transmits to the SAP system with WLAN. Thus the product quality can be documented easily prior to dispatch.

The employee in outgoing goods is able to photograph erroneous goods or especially labeled products with the Casio terminal. The pictures are immediately attached to the respective documents in the SAP system and thus are immediately available for the employees in order processing. This is how it is documented that high-quality goods leave the company in a flawless condition.

Handheld Scanner Terminals

Deliveries received damaged or incorrect goods can be documented easily during data entry at incoming goods by taking sharp photos of the affected details with the camera integrated in the Casio terminal. The picture data is then sent to the SAP system via WLAN, together with item data and stored there accordingly.

An additional advantage of the MDE system is immediate online booking. Thus the goods can be moved onto production directly if necessary without being stored first.

The use of the Casio terminal reduces the potential sources of errors to almost zero. The employee is advised of the error in case of incorrect movement of goods.
